After a 3-year legal battle, a transgender teen in Florida has emerged victorious in a federal lawsuit over equal access to restrooms.
Adams said he hopes Friday's decision"helps save other transgender students from having to go through" the"painful and humiliating experience" he was subjected to in high school
“High school is hard enough without having your school separate you from your peers and mark you as inferior,” AdamsAlthough a lower court affirmed Adams' rights in 2018, legal developments since then further strengthened his case even as his school district continued its appeal, according to Paul Castillo, a member of Adams’ legal team and a students-rights strategist for Lambda Legal.
Emphasizing the historically significant nature of Adams' case, Castillo said, “To my knowledge, this is the first post-Bostock decision that analyzes another sex discrimination statute." Christina Langston, a spokesperson for the St. Johns County School District, declined to comment, saying, “We are still in pending litigation so it remains inappropriate to comment on or try this case in the media.”
